Ahmed Zain UAE, 25 Nov 2015Personally, I don't like Samsung or any Korean product. iPhone is made in China, it is a stron... moreWhere do you think the new Blackberry's are made ACE? Certainly not in Waterloo, Canada! They are made in China...sorry to burst your bubble!

pika2000, 25 Nov 2015Nah. More and more businesses now have a BYOD program.
When I see people with a Blackberry... moreByod is the reason the why Priv is on android, it's a comeback, and trust me iPhone sucks, I have one and a bb passport. Passport is amazing for multitasking and mail iPhone 6 is app launching toy.

Xiumin, 25 Nov 2015You bought it from AT&T? They are the first to start selling them and also T-Mobile. Price... morePersonally, I don't like Samsung or any Korean product. iPhone is made in China, it is a strong phone yet we don't know what affects your health by using them afterall. It's a common phone phone for the TH's.
Blackberry uffff I love it. It's for business people, class, innovative, a phone for the chosen few! That is elegance. That is attitude. I have blackberry passport silver edition, up next the Priv.

NechPech, 24 Nov 2015Not becuase you are blinded by iPhones and Droids means everyone is like you.
Real business p... moreyes they are blind...at first i don't like blackberry but since i tried using it,i fell in love of my blackberry because in terms of durability,fluidity of the os is quite beautiful & security, it is all satisfying.i think they want a blackberry that run an apple os now hehe....

When I see people with a Blackberry, it's either they are forced to (a company phone, but they themselves have iPhone/Android personal phone), or they are Indonesian (literally the only country left with consumer-demand for BB).

Joneeep, 24 Nov 2015After having 10 days with it,
Worst phone and all useless apps.
Doesn't worth even $300You bought it from AT&T? They are the first to start selling them and also T-Mobile. Price tag of $699 absolutely absurd. Slider keyboard and curved screen doesn't justify the price. Fortunately, they have Schneider Kreuznach camera lens and Samsung Knox for an excuses; which admitedly would be expensive for licensing price purpose. The rest just terrible. Go buy these instead:

Ali, 24 Nov 2015not extraordinary special.price should not be more than 400 US$.There are many outclass Androi... moreYou can go to buy a ZTE Axon for US$200 now, or wait 3 years and buy the PRIV for $400.

bharat, 24 Nov 2015what in use of having this in stock when it is not in worth of anything.its just a waste of dime.Not becuase you are blinded by iPhones and Droids means everyone is like you.
Real business people still use Blackberry or have used them for a long time.
They will make a move to the Priv, guaranteed.

Romano, 24 Nov 2015Seriously GSMArena, how about the Priv review?? :) Really sorry to break your heart but this is worst blackberry ever! This one had a shortest life in my hands 18 hours. Think a hundred times before you buy it. Not practical at all! I am sorry may be I love blackberry for nostalgic reasons.

bharat, 24 Nov 2015what in use of having this in stock when it is not in worth of anything.its just a waste of dime.What is the use of you reading this blog post, if you don't find the device relevant for you?

Hari Om, 24 Nov 2015Besides , some of the preloaded apps of Blackberry indeed help in productivity. It is the best... morePersonally I think Blackberry might have jumped the gun, by not waiting to release until Android 6.

Sure DTEK is intended to tell you if something IS wrong, but the crucial thing of not allowing an app access to more than you want in the first place, seems first to be integrated with 6.0. (Sure you could limit some things on rooted variants even on older Android).

...And as several have stated, the pricing seems pretty steep. But again as there is no competition, I do understand that they give it a (greedy) shot - I for one is definitely tempted, I would love to replace my Ios device with something less bad, I currently hold my horses to see if we get something with a somehow nationalized keyboard for Denmark/Norway.

If BB is so great why didn't it make money selling its phones with a proper os and then had to switch to an amateurish work in progress os by the name of Android? And what makes you guys think this is not just pent up demand which will fizzle out in a few months? And as for the much vaunted keyboard, BB were still selling the Q10, Q5 as well as many other multi button wonders. And yes, Priv is far too expensive.

Hari Om, 24 Nov 2015Besides , some of the preloaded apps of Blackberry indeed help in productivity. It is the best... moreCan I... Can I be friends with you (that goes for you too Eske Rahn)? Your replies on Ali's comment make so much sense it almost hurts.

Eske Rahn, 24 Nov 2015That 'many' consist of exactly ZERO with a real keyboard....
If you do not find that key feat... moreBesides , some of the preloaded apps of Blackberry indeed help in productivity. It is the best PIM tool and nothing can be compared with it

If you do not find that key feature important, well guess what, you are not part of its market segment.
